[issue45966] Error in Multiplication

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

This isn't a bug, it's a function of the IEEE-754 double precision floating point type that python uses. See: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/floatingpoint.html

You might want to consider the decimal module, although that will also have limitations.
